The Bayer Leverkusen, in front of a rival conditioned by the early expulsion, attained in Bochum a goleada (0-5) that allowed him arrive to 50 parties without losing in all the competitions that has contested this season. The group of Xabi Alonso, already with the crown of champion ensured and in the final of the Europe League, achieved a new triumph, one that was closed by Alejandro Grimaldo that simply it seems impossible to contain this season.
Acting more like carrilero left and almost leading that like side, the Spanish annotated his so much twelve of the season, a figure that already for some extreme could be very positive, by what for a defence seems an authentic madness. Besides, as if it needed more, it is to only an assistance to arrive to the 20 in the season, doing that almost any team of the world was arrepintiendo of 'happen' of him the past summer.
The Barça did not want to take decisions with Grimaldo in the moments that could
Grimaldo remained free the past 30 June after eight years in the Benfica and practically only Alonso bet by his signing, still when it had a big happened in the team luso, as well as in the quarry of the FC Barcelona. And precisely the team culé can be the one who better represent the arrepentimiento of the clubs of have not taken more in account to Grimaldo.
The Barça, unlike many others, had the opportunity to have to the side in his team in multiple opportunities and in any of them finished deciding that the best option would be to have he. Neither when it was canterano, and had the option to be acting of Jordi Alba, neither neither when it sounded in the last three or four years to arrive and compete with the now player of the Inter of Miami, always thinking in an operation to the drop by his intentions of not being still in the Benfica.
But neither in 2015 or 2016, neither neither in 2021 or 2022, or in 2023, already like free player, the Barça considered seriously the alternative of a side that to the day of today has better numbers that almost any forward of the first team culé. Although it remains clear that the system of Xabi Alonso has had a lot that see, as well as the vertical football of the Bayer and the defensive style of the Bundesliga, the reality is that the already international Spanish is going out and the Barça is not it enjoying for understanding that it did not take place or lace in the staff culé.
